Match Thread Everton v Leeds - Preview, Match Report and Motm Poll

[MikeH72]

Alli on a bad day in midfield is probably better than Gbamin or Onyango on a good one. That’s what the situation is.

Alli on a bad day in midfield is really bad though mate. We should’ve bought a midfielder imo.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Listening to the presser made me think... what about;
Pickford
Coleman - Keane - Holgate
Patterson - VDB - Allan - Townsend
Gordon - DCL - Richarlison

That's an option I thought about too, but I think he's going to start Alli

 

[neil999]

I’ve spoken to one that says he can’t.

Well we've reached an impasse

 

[bring back the catt]

I don't think they can recall him

I'm of the same opinion as yourself. What an absolute stroke of genius it was to loan out our only cover for the left back position for the entire season without a clause for recall.
Just pause for a moment and say to yourself, 'Everton only have one left back on their books, but have two ex England internationals on their coaching staff'. Now I know Baines and Cole are recent additions and are completely blameless, but WTAF was in the mind of the idiot who sanctioned the loan deal for our only alternative for that position.
Further proof of the utter incompetence of those running/ruining the club at the highest level.

Or should we just blame the fans again?

Not being funny here, could Baines and Cole actually play for us? ?

 

[tsubaki]

assuming its Daniel James up front for Leeds again, I'd go 4-3-3 with:

-------------- Pickford ----------------
Patterson Holgate Branthwaite Kenny
--------------- Allan -------------------
--------- VDB ------- Gomes ----------
-- Gordon -- DCL (if fit) -- Richy

I honestly don't understand how the mood can change so dramatically from Saturday evening until now

We were all buzzing and optimistic after the Brentford game - One crap performance later and we're definitely relegated

The needle swings from one extreme to the other

An emphatic win to a fairly comprehensive loss I guess.

Probably would be different if each were 1-0's

 

[Furey1878]

Yes, out till Southampton game. Same for Gray.

Hello darkness my old friend

I mean, we lost after being in front (in such a depressing and lackluster manner) to a team we would consider to be worse than us.

Not usually a fan of bipolar game-to-game reactions but I fully felt that way myself.

Because we have lost mina and gray

 

[arbok]

watched the training video

their skills aren't very good? these are supposed to be premier league players? the time it takes between taking a touch and then having a shot, my grandmother would be able to make a tackle.

 

[Donegal blue]

Iam not going to build my hopes up for this, they have been dashed too many times, very draining being an Everton fan. COME ON EVERTON.

 

[roy vernon]

Alan Harper played anywhere too. And Steve Watson

Yes I remember Steve Watson getting a hat trick when having to play as a striker. I'm not sure, but, I think it may even have been against Leeds.

 

[bullybeef]

V D Beek starts tomorrow.
